If you can get past the 20-somethings' whining, anger and inability to transition into functioning adults (totally believable from the 20-somethings woke crowd I know), this is a truly awesome book. Truly awesome . . . uh . . . except for one thing. ANYWAYS is not a word! OMGosh! I winced EVERY time I heard it. BACKWARDS is not a word. FORWARDS is not a word! What is it with the modern generation and their desire to pluralize EVERYTHING??? Backward is a direction. There is only one backward direction and it is BACKWARD. Forward is a direction. There is only one direction forward. ANYway is ALREADY plural! Honestly, stop adding an S to pluralizing things that cannot be plural or are already plural.

I did catch ONE editing error. That's pretty freaking awesome to only hear one. Kudos to whoever edited it . . . with the exception of the mess noted above.

WHY Do publishers choose screech old lady voices for young characters? Why? The narration is AWFUL.

The world building is great, the characters are interesting the science fiction is first rate and the narration is excellent. I've listened to the entire series twice already and am about to embark on my third immersion into the Bobiverse.

I love this series. Not the sex . . . I really can do without graphic sex . . . but I love this family, I love the characters, the dynamic is awesome and the world building is first rate. The next book doesn't come out for nearly a year and I'm already eager for its release.

This book was very much not my type. The writing is low brow pedantic, the story is overarching and ridiculous. I cannot believe I wasted money on this.

If you like ridiculous romance, characters who behave illogically, and squidgy world building, this book is definitely going to suit you.

Drawn out, pedantic and unfocused. I fast forwarded whole chapters and missed nothing. This author is off my TBR list.

There are a handful of authors whose work I can listen to over and over. Patricia Briggs is one of those authors. Her prose is wonderful, her character and story development is rich and interesting. Her ability to portray complicated mature relationships is lovely. This book is high on my list of favorite retreads.

Did I love it? No. Did I finish it? Yes. Will I listen to it again? No. Will I buy the next in the series? No.

If you don't mind heroines who make questionable choices, this is an okay read. The narrator is not the best. The voice and the inflection do not match the character. This book is a better read than listen.
